I tried this but I get the same problem. It seems to be when I post an
AppStopEvent to close my app, my app closes but it stops the palm turning
off. If I dont post an AppStopEvent the palm shuts down, but my apps still
running. Very confusing, something somewhere is stopping the system shutting
down. I let the system handle the vchPowerOff after me so it should work.
